Kinsey 6. Usually found in a checked shirt and drinking coffee. Sober.
Guess who's got a checked shirt and one tooth fewer than he had this morning🦷

Also, I'm taking my dentist's instructions to only eat soft food very seriously

Enjoying Future's Edge by @garethlpowell.bsky.social so much I'm having to force myself to savour it rather than devouring it on one go.

What else is there to do on a dark Sunday afternoon but make some soup?

Just listened to this whole album for the first time in years. It’s still an absolute banger. And that is absolutely final - I will brook no ripostes. #CarlySimon

Was hoping this would be a fun romp but it lacked the lightness and agility a good heist film needs - far too much telling and not showing.

On the plus side, Rosamund Pike was having the time of her life as the villain. #NowYouSeeMeNowYouDon't

Just a bear in a woolly hat - it's a tad chilly today

Just took a break and went to see the Emily Kam Kngwarray exhibition at Tate Modern - absolutely glorious.

Well, who doesn't love a small chunk?🙂

This was quite entertaining, in an Agatha Christie meets Death in Paradise kind of way #NineBodiesInAMexicanMorgue

Quick breather in the park after news that a friend would pop round later led to unprecedented levels of housework in the EC1 area

Don't mind me, just serving up suit-and tie bearded daddy realness.

Immensely impressed by this film. A skillful blend of excitement, humour and drama. Strong performances from Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, ably supported by Peter Dinklage and Juno Temple.

Advisory: includes scenes of Mr Tatum in various stages of undress and soapiness. #Roofman

Greyer than ever, but a little tidier.

In London's glittering West End today to see Honey, Don't! and the drinks in the Welly and Kings Arms.

I went into Honey, Don't pretty much cold and thoroughly enjoyed its blend of mystery, humour and frank sexuality. Bonus, for those who like that sort of thing, is Chris Evans in a jockstrap.

Judging by this picture I took, looks like the newly-refurbished Waitrose in Clerkenwell might be using facial recognition technology. If so, I wonder what it's being used for and how they're using, storing and securing the data.

Contrary to popular belief, I do travel abroad occasionally. Tidying my photo collection I came across these snaps from Bruges, where a modern house is nestled among some older ones, giving the street a sense of change over time, instead of forcing the new house to be a pastiche of the old ones.

Umberto has once again worked his magic on my hair and beard.

Not looking bad for someone turning 53 in just under 10 hours.

I’ve heard it said that you could take a still from any Doctor Who story and caption it, “Happy Pride Month”.

Hiding from the heat again. Was tempted not to wear the t-shirt under the shirt, but thought that might have come across as a bit slutty🙂

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning was quite fun, but a little overlong. Great to see Hannah Waddingham and Tramell Tillman too. #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning

Just been to see the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt at Tate Modern. Seeing how many died so young breaks my heart💔
